Access the Define Total Product Cycle Time form.

Calculate and Save and Calculate, Save and Close

Click to perform the total product cycle time calculation. The system displays the calculation results in the grid. If you use the Calculate, Save and Close button, the system automatically closes the form when the calculation is complete.

Accumulated Total Product Cycle Time

Displays the total product cycle time as it accumulates from process to process.

Consumed Sequence Number

Displays the sequence number of the task into which the process feeds if you calculate total product cycle time based on the sequence of events as work content selection. For example, if a main line process feeds into another main line process, the value in this field is 10 (first task).

Value Added Time, Non Value Added Time, and Value Added Percent

Provides information about the amount of process time that is value-added or non-value added. If the process time does not include non-value added time, the value-added percentage is 100 percent.
